Most around here prefer cash, because the don’t have to tell the feds.

Yeah but the IRS has the algorithm for each occupation and expected tips. Way under report, expect some questions.
AFA tipping at the counter goes, if I'm going to tip there, I will tip from change given back before I turn around and go sit. I make sure that the tip is noticed, but I don't flash a fiver or anything like that. A folded bill could be 1, 2 or 3 bucks. I just want them to know I kicked in so if there is any incentive to perform, I prepaid it. Coins automatically go in but I don't wan to insult with just a few coins.
Usually I barely get a thanks.
Story: in the days of college there was a bar that had the cheap pitcher night. They only set out maybe 20 pitchers so if you were late they might be all on a table somewhere with none available for refill. This was by design. So at the first pitcher we laid down the big tip. And we got a pitcher whenever we asked. They were half price so we were ahead anyway. Walking up to the bar with an empty pitcher got you nowhere.
